The next time you are interested in purchasing a vehicle, make sure you take a test drive first to analyze the interiors of the car. Each individual has his/her own tastes and what I prefer in my car cabin may not exactly be according to your liking. Most car manufacturers now offer the buyer a choice of many types of interior styles in a single car model. This includes custom built interiors that come in various colors with customized gadgetry, trims, seats and upholstery etc. In the coming years fueled by innovations in car technology and design, we can expect some great looking car interiors that will surely sweep us off our feet. If you are buying a new car, you have a host of choices available now but in case you already have a vehicle, what can you do to improve the feel of its interiors? You might have a snazzy looking car on the outside that delivers equally well on the performance front too but if the interiors are poor, you will never enjoy the drive as much as you would if your car had stylish, modern and comfortable interiors. Experts believe that car interiors directly influence one’s perception of drive quality. No wonder we feel safe and comfortable in cars that have plush interiors. We are immediately drawn towards fancy gadgetry and stylish instruments in cars and that’s what increases our attachment with the vehicle.

One of the highlights of an auto show is watching an array of concept cars rev into the spotlight. These vehicles represent the latest feats in car engineering and are usually characterized in bold colors, cutting-edge features and revolutionary innovations. A concept car is actually an automobile prototype and does not go directly into production from concept model to manufacturing, without undergoing certain changes. Once a concept car has been shown at an auto show, it is destroyed. The few cars that do not make it to the salvage yard are sold to collectors or wind up in car museums. Concept cars not produced en-masse unless the public show a willingness to purchase the car. These cars only make it to production when reactions from the public have been gauged and validated. If the response is unfavorable, these vehicles are either destroyed or sold off to avid car collectors. Here are 3 awesome concept cars that did not make it to the production line but are worth remembering.

Automobile designing tracks back to the 19th century. That was the time when internal combustion engines were developed and engineers were focusing to develop a motor vehicle, which should be capable enough of moving and carrying loads. In this attempt different models of vehicles were presented driven by different fuel sources. Three wheeled vehicle, Hippo mobile and different other models were on board. But the very first car like design was presented in 1894 by Benz called Velo. Since then more and more progress was made in this area of designing and different models of car came from time to time. Different companies started their production lines and thus a new sector emerged on the global map which we call today as Automobile sector. Now a days, Car body designing has progressed to such an altitude that old designs appeared entirely different. The new modern automobile body designs are followed by various substantial changes, the cars are normally designed closed with the usage of glasses, Composite materials, and variety of alloys. The materials are changed with the objective to make it more fuel efficient, to improve its aesthetic look and to build interior more ergonomic and comfortable. Different companies are competing with one another to bring such a design that is more attractive to the consumers. There are various designing aspects of a car body like the exterior look its rear and front features etc, the interior aspect of the design includes seats, controls, pillars etc, and the color with trim designing of the car. The exterior body of the car is the primary object of designing. Normally drawings are developed on different CAD soft,wares. The drawing of the exterior proposed design is thoroughly discussed in an automobile manufacturing industry. Once the exterior design is approved a prototype of the model is developed to interpret the design physically. Then manufacturing feasibility of the model is discussed. Then simultaneously during the prototype development automobile interior body is also considered and a design is proposed. The interior design is then embedded in the exterior body of the prototype. The trim and color design also works in collaboration with interior design, the trim design is actually about the fabric, carpet, glasses, wood works, interior plastic working etc, so as to decorate the interior of the vehicle with few external features as well like side glasses. Then a suitable attractive coloring scheme is suggested and on approval it is applied to the prototype of the car. Now the prototype is completed. The prototype is then discussed and a market survey for this prototype design is launched. When it is specified that there is enough demand for this prototype design, then this design is forwarded to mass production within the automobile manufacturing facility. Then various tools are developed like dies to shape the sheets in accordance with the design of the car. So for each external specification of the car special dies are developed. Simultaneously jigs are designed to perform multiple drilling operations and finally fixtures for the welding of internal structure on which all parts like rear, front, sides are assembled. When the tools are developed the car design is ready for mass production.
